Billy is a Elvis reincarnate! Total genius, amazingly talented
Still waiting for that biopic with Timothy Olyphant!
Billy and Steve.....timeless and untouchable. Legends!
Quite possibly the best version ever. Whole crew got their game on for a hot rendition. Maybe if the solo went twice as long, but Steve had it tight. A few comments here express that things weren't perfect. Well, friends, that's just rock. Sometimes the passion is worth more than the perfection. Pretty easy to throw stones from the crowd.... or shoes. If you get that you are an Idol true fan.
There's nothing better than these two together (Steve and Billy). I cut my teeth on 80's rock guitar heroes, but was always drawn to this duo (Steve was always underrated as a player IMHO). Met Steve Stevens a couple years back at Sweetwater. He took time to chat with each and every person that came to see him even though the line was a mile long. Always great to learn that your hero is a great person.
Billy sounds fucking great
What a great voice!
Shes so good....
Steve and Billy simply a Badass Duo
Love it XXXXXXXX
long live the idol
24 hours ago this song popped up in my random shuffle, here I am the next day, still watching various versions of it. It's odd, I don't remember liking this song a whole lot when it came out, I didn't hate it but it wasn't a favorite, but now it's one of those ones that gets in my head and stays there for days.
Sweet XXXXXXXX fantastic song
Brazil, Oct 2023. Wonderful interpretation.
It's impossible to pick a favorite song from this show.
His best song !
I loved the drummer he was really into it
Awesome rendition of this song, one of the sexiest ever.
That's the masterful Steve Stevenson playing that Smoking guitar,dammit man......

le meilleur !
My biggest love ever. Hot, sexy, wonderfull, one of a kind.. My lover... while I'm alive.... Волим те, љубави моја. Од своје четрнаесте године....
Steve Stevens is an amzing guitarist... but just imagine this with Brian Setzer at the axe????
Mikey xx
I love both of em, but Steve is perfect for Billy.
I think I'd be safe in saying that without each other, they don't exist. But that's just my opinion. It's hard to imagine either of them moving on without each other....kind of like a three legged rocking horse.
You need to come do a concert in Regina!!!!! At R.E.A.L. at the mosaic stadium!!!! With Nikki SiXX!!!! We'd have a blast!!!!!BILLY!!!!
Essa é a música mais ELVIS PRESLEY de Billy Idol! Excelente!
❤❤
He almost sounds better than he did in the original... what a bad a$$ !!!!!
Stella was amazing so disappointed with new duet Myra Cyrus...this is the real thing
I THINK THE GIRL ADDS A BIT OF SOUL TO THE SOUND
+JEFFREY DAVID Sole maybe. Billy cannily uses his less powerful voice shrewdly, in phrasing and accentuating, instead of his ol' raw power.
@@EternalHennessyis that the girls name?
Stella Soleil
Dang.
this just cracks me up,,,,,lol xox ya think i am sexy lol rock on billy boy
Sonzeiraaaa
Steves hand on guitar moves so quickly it's a blur all legends
Groovyyyyy
❤
that woman give him a googo eyes
Ta wersja chyba lepsza od studyjnej :)
i need a beer
come listen to the "Night Teroors" begin... \m/
Do you think Billy cares as long as he gets some from her after the show.
Nos de donde la sacaron muy mal esa corista
Stella is steamy
👌🖤
great performance, but is he sing ti zombies there???
stevens was handling songwriting and arranging duties on those idol classics as well - although this is a cover
I usually hate acoustic redo's but that fucking rocked. I agree bag the chick.
bag the chick..........geezus.......did she win a contest or something........
She's great.
Fanfuckingtastic 🤘😎
back up singer voice to high
😚
Not into the backup vocals. The trio made it so much more exciting.
I thought Stella added the perfect touch.
Who is the female singer?
stella soliel
Is that Gwen Stefani with Idol?
it's Stella Soleil
Hey, can someone with mixing and engineering skills cut out the backup singer?
Piss poor vocals by the helium filled backing singer. Idol on point as usual
I BECOME A GAY FOR STEVE STEVENS
😂
Anyone else notice who’s on Guitar? If I’m not mistaken that’s Ritchie Sambora from Bon Jovi
Yeah, you're mistaken, is Steve Stevens, the guitarrist of Billy from all time.
@@Crisis.Knight my bad then, can play alright
Stephen McGrath
Some LA Woman style :)
Who’s this hot looking gal singing with Billy??
Stella Soleil
Why can't I find this on Spotify?
It's on Spotify, search Billy Idol VH1 Storytellers
LEPA PESEM.
Jessica Rabbit blonde!
I'm sure he slept with the girl singing
love this guy
Lol
Billy and Steve are always fantastic but the girl sounds annoying.
Elvis punk
Noo lo siento pero l mujer no la hace🤔🙃
sex droga i bilyyyy.....
Tako je!
Billy sounded top notch there. The band was on point. But wasn't too impressed with Stella on this track. Nice enough voice, looks good and all. But her voice was too high and light for the R&B gutsiness of the song. Not husky rich as, to me, the song and Billy's muscular voice demands. Nonetheless, overall, great jam.
Thomas Minker Totally agreed....that was what I was thinking as well...this song calls out for a gutsier female voice to play back and forth with Idol. Pretty much the only thing I did not like about this vid. I'll volunteer to sing with him....no wimpy voice here!! LOL (I also kept wondering if the guitar player might have been Ron Wood....but probably that would have been mentioned if so).
Well said. Rockabilly demands voices with edgier, hard-earned patina of experience).
Great song! But the blonde gal kind of craps out compared to the recorded version.
Stunning, swinging version of a rockabilly classic (though female back-up a total misfit)
Poor backing vocal!!!
He’s too old to be ...!!!
poor backing vocals.... Awful voice for a nice chick.
omg that girl is horrible
😂 😂 😂 👍
Remember it's live not in a studio 😊 👍
She's a good singer, but just not a fit for this. They don't sound good together.
you have got ears??? Or you can"t listen with this?
.🤸♂️!
